You're never gonna love me, so what's the use?
What's the point in playing a game you're gonna lose?
What's the point in saying you love me like a friend?
What's the point in saying it's never gonna end?

You're to proud to say that you've made a mistake
You're a coward to the end
I don't wanna admit, but we're not gonna fit
No, I'm not the type that you like
Why don't we just pretend?

Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh
I can't let you go, can't let you go oh
I just want it to be perfect
To believe it's all been worth the fight
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh

You only ever touch me in the dark
Only if we're drinking can you see my spark
And only in the evening that you give yourself to me
Cause the night is your woman, and she'll set you free

You're to proud to say that you've made a mistake
You're a coward to the end
I don't wanna admit, but we're not gonna fit
No, I'm not the type that you like
Why don't we just pretend?

Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh
I can't let you go, can't let you go oh
I just want it to be perfect
To believe it's all been worth the fight
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh

Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh
I can't let you go, can't let you go oh
I just want it to be perfect
To believe it's all been worth the fight
Lies, don't wanna know, don't wanna know oh

    My Opinion:I agree with mpotts989. Its definitely about a relationship between two people that have not defined their relationship clearly and what they both want from it.

    Memory:I can easily relate to this song. It reminds me so much of a situation I was in last year. My old boyfriend and I were together for nearly three years, but towards the end I think we both knew it was over and yet were trying to salvage something that just wasn't there anymore. I then found out after our break-up that he had kissed another girl but for the longest time he was a coward and refused to own up to it. Before I knew this, we were still hooking up after our break-up because I still had the lingering hope that we could rekindle our relationship and be perfect again. It took me awhile for me to accept that he was a liar and that our love was gone. In essence, this song is lovely in the most tragic way.

    General Comment:I think this song is about a guy who pursued a girl and it went further than he wanted it to. He likes her but doesn't want to commit to her fully so just tries and maintains a casual relationship (4th paragraph) as he doesn't have the guts to tell her he doesn't think she's the one. (5th).
